DORC hosts an adventure ride in different locations around the Darwin area. The aim of these rides is to offer varied and sometimes unusual alternatives to our usual social ride locations. We hope to get all level riders together to enjoy our sport and trails in a friendly supportive environment.

This Sat 31 August ’24  DORC will be taking an adventure ride to look at the Shell Midden Hill out at Gunn Point before looping back. The meeting point for this ride will be signposted on the side of Gunn Point Road. The starting point is located 27km from Stow Rd/Howard Springs road junction.

If you are a non-member and would like to join us just follow the link and take advantage of the AusCycling four week free trial membership (click here) or you can sign a recreational day waiver to join us for the ride.
